View Full Version : FILM-MAKER CHERAN

Here's a film-maker who, from his very first film, has doggedly tread a lonely path, determined to give sensible and sensitive films, his scripts original and rooted in nativity, with a message weaved into each one, but never preachy or melodramatic. Cheran's films and characters are close to life, touch a chord in one, each film with its own unique concept and style. Easily, he is the best of the current crop of directors.

Achievements: National awards for Autograph and Bharathikku Kannamma.

Do i miss something. Where and when did he say this :roll:

I remember one group talk which Kumudam arranged with the young directors 2 years before

Cheran, Dharani and few more were chatting. That time Anbe Sivam flopped and Dhool was running successfully.

When they were discussing abt tamil cinema and its way Cheran was saying he felt too bad when a movie like Anbe Sivam flops and Dhool went on to become a big commercial hit. Also he said he is not against Dhool becoming big hit but he was very unhappy with the audience that Anbe Sivam flopped. Dharani was also there in that chat.

I felt it as putting his opinion straight forward. :roll:

Karthi,
I meant in the hub in general, not just this thread.
For e.g if i talk about somebody's inconsistency, deceit and tomfoolery between speaking through films or in public and in concrete actions on the ground, i would be warned not to indulge in personal attacks on the person etc but Cheran seems to be fair game.

[tscii:292d4774b5]Haven’t seen all of Cheran’s movies, so my comments are based on the movies I saw which are Pandavar Bhoomi,Autograph,Thavamai Thavamirunthu and Bharathi Kannama.
Cheran is one of those directors who make movies that the audience can relate with. Of course he over indulges in parts and not all scenes can be related, but the general settings, moods and characters are life like and seem to come out of everyday life.
He should definitely be encouraged and appreciated for his courage in believing that people stories can be made as movie in a simple format and can be box office hits at the same time.

Cheran is one of the best and decent directors we have today & we should encourage such guys .

This guy's portrayals are almost realistic and what we come across day to day.

Autograph - be it Mera naam Joker or xyz, the movie was well made & the end was quite appreciable and practical.

Enna NOV, peer review kelvi pattirukkingala? This is exactly the same. There are even polls to select 'Actor's Actor', 'Director's Director', etc among people in the film industry. Recognition from colleagues who understand your craft is more important than recognition from a lay man. Extending the argument, if recognition is welcome, why not criticism?

thamizhvaanan
28th February 2007, 08:15 PM
Kannan, if I am not wrong, peer review is done only in cases where there is a common objective, or when performance has got a well defined measure. Whereas in crafts like fillm-making there are various schools, genres and each have different orientation. In that case, is it not bad to comment at someone whos motivation is ulteriorly different :huh: . Its somewhat like a rock artist commenting on a classical album.

TV, music genres and film genres are different. There are innumerable categories in Grammy (Gospel'kellam oru 'Best Album' award), while there is only one at most film festivals. Let us take Cannes '04. Tarantino was the jury president and wholly backed 'Old Boy' for the Golden Palm. But the majority of the jury thought otherwise and awarded the Palm to 'Farenheit 911'. Are the two movies even comparable? One is documentary while the other is feature film. But that doesn't stop contemporary film makers from appreciating or criticizing them. That's because most efficient film makers can cross the boundaries between different genres with ease and know what it means to make a good movie irrespective of the genre. That's exactly why Scorsese can make a highly acclaimed documentary on Italian Films that have influenced him, in the middle of numerous feature films.

Likewise, an efficient musician can also cross boundaries and understand other genres. But still we consider it to be disrespectful when someone comments about a different genre right? Just my opinion that he disrespecting and putting down a fellow artist.

Enough said... let there be discussions on cheran's film making for a change :wink:

This man CHERAN never fails to amaze me!

Stories may not be anything new. After all human emotions are SAME generations to generations. Nothing extra ordinary can be experienced or written or conveyed in reality movies. ITs the same message from generation to generation.

Adam had hunger, love, dreams, sorrow. After millions of years, we also experience the same aspirations, love, sorrow, happiness.

So what can be new? Then what makes a story click?

Its presentation.

'Maayak kaNNadi'

:clap:

It might be a slightly polished version of "varumai niram sivappu" but then, there is a different touch, different approach which makes us sit back and watch.

Not just watch, but watch minutely register some thoughts which are PICTURED but not conveyed.

How can thoughts be PICTURED?

Cheran knows!

He lines up one amongst the prisoners.
His shame, repentance, acceptance, he conveys it with his blank stares. Blank expressions. Blank smiles.

He aspires to be a great star. His smile conveys the thoughts, his confindence, fairy tale beliefs.

As a man who lost his dreams, kumar, resumes his job as a barber. One last time in the climax, his reflection is solid, grounded, very much down to earth. Gone are the imagition and dream, which transports him to fictitious world.

The reality is "HIM-THE BARBER"

வாசந்தியின் வரிகள் நினைவு வருகின்றது.

"இந்த விமானம் தரையில் இறங்கிவிட்டது!"

As a director, he WINS! Everytime! I wish and pray he makes a huge impression in tamil film world.

I am in love, once again, helplessly, with his creativity!

IF u argue, goodlooking guys need to be heros! sorry our tamil filmdom is filled with many successful ordinary or below ordinary looking men!

Hero = The person's whose life is elaborated or described or pictured. He can be ur next door neighbour or a fat 50 year old man or a flat faced bank employee. These are REAL PEOPLE we meet in everyday life.

A hero can even be a street beggar, who wont and cant afford looking like abhishek bachan!

In case u spoke that, because of his acting ability, then, many people love emotions to be well-controlled and delivered, and he does it flawlessly

I shall finish my post with just a single statement

"opinions differ/tastes differs" Filmdom needs to cater to everybody's needs.

Hi SP, Velan,

pandiyarajan is a far better actor than cheran.I agree whole-heartedly :bow:
more importantly, he knows his limits.
and most importantly, he does not attempt to detroy a progressive society.

moonu thalaimuraya kashtapputhan padika vekkanuma?

that was a non sense dialogue......every poor man must make his kid an educated b y whatever cost it takes....agdhuku sappakattu katta koodadhu.

if a barbers kid dreams abt becoming a scientist and develops a high level dream....does cheran say that he is a poor guy and should dream within limits?

whats the point cheran tries to make here.

dream depending upon situation?

Vicky,

Every movie NEED NOT HAVE message. That was a LIFE-STORY of a person called x. Why do u need to be educated from a MOVIE? Do u think big achievers were inspired from reel life!

sorry!

Most ppl are like these x, y, z who dont achieve big or who dream big but settle with reality. There are achievers. We can count them.

Nobody said DONT DREAM.

Dream. But wait for right opporutnities and time for it to hatch. Its sheer stupidity to build castles in air without making way for daily bread(dosa or idly).

and I used to use ( still use ) the word moonji instead of mugam :twisted:

the phrase should have been like " indha face'a(or mugaththa) dhaana naama pOster'la paaththOm "

really Cheran is good-looking person :D

'Good-looking'??? comeon! Goodlooking is superlative for him! :|

I insist on saying, "HE looks like the person u meet on road" (a normal middle class person, who can impress a girl AFTER TRYING hard, defintiely not at first sight or first look )

Come-on! not all days we are lucky to bump into maddys and kamalhassanS! :wink: :P

I dont have any problems with his looks.

But I have issues with his attitude; his superiority complex, his thinking that he's god's gift to tamil people, his contempt for people who don't look up to his movies.

And generally, his weird antics in public - like crying, wanting to commit suicide, press adverts asking why ppl dont like his films, etc.

:sigh2:

I guess he can become a better director if he contains his own personal emotions and pays more attention to what he is trying to convey. It will also be good if he stays behind the camera.

SP,

IMO he looks sad always and he tries to keep his face like he is happy. Or may be he is too emotional. He is certainly not fit for lead character in many films.

25th August 2008, 03:10 PM
hmm :) I agree to the sad-happy part!

Cheran used to be one of my favourite director until he did AUTOGRAPH. No doubt I liked AUTOGRAPH a lot, but seems like ever since this film, his attitude has changed a lot. Now he doesn't seem like able to come up with a script in which he is not the hero (what a sick creativity brain he has). This has been the bane of the industry. Once a director tastes success with their hero effort, they can't think anything beyond themselves.

I love his following movies,

1) Bharathi Kannamma
2) Porkaalam
3) Vetri Kodi Kattu
4) Paandavar Bhoomi
5) Autograph
6) Thavamai Thavamirundhu

Lost hope on this guy after watching MAAYAKANNADI.
